John Kiriakou

Right around the time that MKUltra was being hatched,

a scientist in Switzerland, invented something called LSD.

And LSD did these incredible things.

And it could manipulate your mind.

You could see colors that didn't exist.

You could see people that didn't exist.

And maybe if we micro-dosed people with this new LSD, then maybe we could control their minds.

The CIA began by using it on their own people.

Now, we know that one of those CIA contractors actually jumped out of a hotel window and committed suicide because he thought he could fly.

That's been well documented.

Then they decided, you know, maybe experimenting on our own people isn't the best way to go about this.

Maybe we should just experiment on random citizens in San Francisco.

And so they went to San Francisco.

They rented it.

a safe house, they recruited a bunch of prostitutes and sent the prostitutes out on the street to pick up dates, bring the dates back to the safe house, dose them with LSD without their knowledge, and then try to get them to reveal their innermost secrets just to see if the CIA could collect those.

Another part of MKUltra, also in San Francisco,

was they decided to create a virus or a bacterium, in this case it was a bacterium, that they could just

push out into the air and see how many people they could infect.

They waited until an unusually foggy day where the air is very heavy and sitting close to the ground.

And all around the city of San Francisco, as well as on the public transit system, they released this bacterium.
